Which PC game should I try out?

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to a computer game I can play in between StarCraft 2 sessions. Don't say WoW since I quit WoW to play SC2.

So I preferably prefer something for PC, and I don't play FPS because the motion makes me sick within 10 minutes or so. And the game doesn't have to be free. I'm not sure what games have been popular lately (I only play SC2 at the moment and do not follow video games as much as I used to due to work and married life).

Thanks!

good topic to start on.

a bit more details would help (what you like to play, abandonware games or the newest games etc.)

I am not good with quotes

Are you looking for a multiplayer game, or a singleplayer?
If single-player, look out for Deus Ex: Human Revolution (hasn't come yet - technically ), shaping up to be one of the best hits of this year, can't wit till August!

You can probably play the whole game without shooting and stuff (stealth), it resembles more of an RPG than a fast paced shooter, so don't cross it out.

Please try out morrowind/oblivion if you haven't already.
They are both FANTASTIC and you can buy them on steam or just torrent them if you want.

Agree on both. Mass Effect 1/2 is also recommended.

In general: I think Blizzard, Bioware, Bethesda and Valve are the four PC-game-designers that you can't really go wrong with. Pretty much everything any of them has ever done has been a success.

Hmmm... I was gonna recommend you play the original Deus Ex. It may look like a shooter, but it's actually an RPG.

There are some cool indie games like Minecraft and Terraria. Super Meat Boy on the PC is pretty good if you hunger for a challenge. And there is also Amnesia.

Like before stated: League of LEgends, amazing game and not too hard to get into. It's a shame you don't want to play fps but try other games with the source engine like portal or portal 2!

Skip Portal if you get motion sickness!

I would suggest kotor, it's a great game! You can get it pretty cheap on Steam (or really cheap during a sale). League of Legends is a pretty good multiplayer game-- a lot of TL'ers move on to that after getting bored with SC (liquidparty.net).

edit: Mass Effect might also be a problem for motion sickness as well

relatively new:

Portal 2 (but that motion sickness could be a problem)
The Witcher 2 (awesome RPG)
Dead Space 2 (and 1 for that matter - extremely good and scary game )
Dragon Age 2 (1 definately better than 2, but still a good game, the first game though is one of the best games in the last 5 years)


must play games:

Baldurs Gate II
Morrowind / Oblivion
Kotor 1+2
Fallout 3
Mass Effect 1+2
Deus Ex
Mafia
GTA-Series

god there is so much more...but this should be sufficient for now
